When plans go awry

Well I had good intentions tonight to get a sunset shot at a pond that has a watermill, but when I got there they are doing maintenance work on the pond and all the paths where blocked off with no access, as they say best laid plans and all that, this was a bit annoying as…

Mystery & Lighting Effects

I have actually paid attention to the 101 theme today’s (Mystery & Lighting Effects), this is my take on it. The ground was damp from the rain the night before which added a real glow to early golden morning light while waiting for my bus, it was just irresistible I had to shot it, the flowing…

Back to the future

This was taken last year when I had transportation (a motorbike which was sent to the great scrapyard in the sky hitting a car which never a good idea) so I unable to get to remote locations anymore so no longer do landscapes, this has lead to me concentrating on Street, Architecture & Seascapes so expanding…

Nobodies fault but mine

This is Klara who used to work in our graphics department (she has since gone freelance but comes in when we are busy), she is the one who encouraged me to develop my own photographic web site (this) and she was almost poking fun at me for being lazy, she asked me to do a few…

Time out

This is the only other image for ill fated (in the literal sense) Canary Wharf trip worthy of uploading, they have six of these clocks as an art instillation in a little square, I have gone through the images and it just shows that you have to be in the right frame of mind because…

All about Mary

Bringing a bit of colour from my Oxted weekend trip, this is a 3 shot panorama of St. Mary’s church which is a Norman church that I have shot a few times,I really wanted to add the tree to the scene so made the effort to include it. I did try to get some street shots…

Ill feeling towards Canary Wharf

Shot on a recent trip to London, I headed for Canary Wharf as I have seen lots of good shots from the area, but as was arriving into my head and body was not feeling to good, but persevered as I do not go up to London that often but after walking around for hour…

Fender string bender

Don’t do much close up work as I do not have a macro lens, but I can get fairly close with my 50 mm 1.4 and love the effect you get with it wide open, here the strings really explode on and go wide with the bokeh & shallow depth of field, I liked the…

Double top

Todays shot is taken from the top of a double decker bus going past a field near Oxted, it is place I have shot a few times but never on a bus where I am staying this weekend (hope to get some shots from around the area), I am without my own transport at the…

Words do not come easy

I am finding it a real challenge to write a blog and uploading an image every day (hence my not doing it), both as I feel getting a reasonable image in the short daylight hours, that I am out and about & not working, but have made the effort taken some images this early this morning while waiting for…

Home

Stoddart House at the Oval, Kennington, South London, this place has a special place in my heart, it may be rough at the edges, but it is where I played with toys, kicked footballs & kissed for the first time lawns behind it, it was a tiny flat with two bedrooms and bath was in the…

Digital Perspective Control

Hi there this is my first post, so anything you feel that could be improved let me know as I hope to learn as much as possible. Here I am going to give information on how I converted an Ultra Wide Angle lens (UWA) image to have straight vertical lines, now most Architecture photography books…
